Obama's doctor revealed today that Obama is in excellent health. The New York Times reports,

Senator Barack Obama was in “excellent health” at the time of his last examination more than a year ago, according to a letter released today by his physician, and has no known medical problems that would affect his ability to serve as president.

It is the first time Mr. Obama, 46, has publicly released
information on his medical history or current health condition. The
brief statement summarized the senator’s health for the last 21 years
and was signed by Dr. David L. Scheiner , who has been Mr. Obama’s
primary care physician for more than two decades.

Mr. Obama’s “family history is pertinent,” according to the doctor,
who noted that the senator’s mother died from ovarian cancer and his
grandfather died of prostate cancer. Mr. Obama’s smoking history – off
and on for at least two decades – also was noted. . . .

Barack Obama’s doctor just released a one-page letter describing the
senator’s health as “excellent.” . . . He
exercises and eats well. His blood pressure is 90/60, his LDL
cholesterol is 96 and his HDL is 68, says the letter by Dr. David
Scheiner, who has treated Obama since 1987. The letter does note that Obama’s history has included
“intermittent” cigarette smoking. “He has quit this practice on several
occasions and is currently using Nicorette gum with success,” says the letter. But it doesn’t say how much Obama smoked, or for how long. . . .

The letter concludes that Obama is in “overall good physical and
mental health needed to maintain the resiliency required in the Office
of President.” . . .
